Almond: A Novel
A BTS fan favorite! A WALL STREET JOURNAL STORIES THAT CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE PICK * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S STAY HOME AND READ PICK * SALON'S BEST AND BOLDEST * BUSTLE'S MOST ANTICIPATED
The Emissary meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in this poignant and triumphant story about how love, friendship, and persistence can change a life forever.
This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster.
One of the monsters is me.
Yunjae was born with a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends—the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that—but his devoted mother and grandmother provide him with a safe and content life. Their little home above his mother’s used bookstore is decorated with colorful Post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say "thank you," and when to laugh.
Then on Christmas Eve—Yunjae’s sixteenth birthday—everything changes. A shocking act of random violence shatters his world, leaving him alone and on his own. Struggling to cope with his loss, Yunjae retreats into silent isolation, until troubled teenager Gon arrives at his school, and they develop a surprising bond.
As Yunjae begins to open his life to new people—including a girl at school—something slowly changes inside him. And when Gon suddenly finds his life at risk, Yunjae will have the chance to step outside of every comfort zone he has created to perhaps become the hero he never thought he would be.
Readers of Wonder by R.J. Palaccio and Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig will appreciate this "resonant" story that "gives Yunjae the courage to claim an entirely different story." (Booklist, starred review)

The Mayor of Casterbridge
Michael Henchard is an out-of-work hay-trusser who gets drunk at a local fair and impulsively sells his wife Susan and baby daughter. Eighteen years later Susan and her daughter seek him out, only to discover that he has become the most prominent man in Casterbridge. Henchard attempts to make amends for his youthful misdeeds but his unchanged impulsiveness clouds his relationships in love as well as his fortunes in business. Although Henchard is fated to be a modern-day tragic hero, unable to survive in the new commercial world, his story is also a journey towards love. This edition is the only critically established text of the novel, based on a comprehensive study of the manuscript and Hardy's extensive revisions.

Ulysses (Wordsworth Collector’s Editions)
Ulysses by James Joyce tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery.Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the reader a life-changing experience.

There is the retired judge dreaming of colonial yesterdays: his orphaned granddaughter Sai who has fallen for her clever maths tutor: the cook, whose son Biju writes untruthful letters home from New York City: and Mutt, the judge's beloved dog.

Enfers et paradis – Histoire d’une polémique – Lucio Guerrato
Le 19 décembre 1919, le grand arabisant espagnol don Asin Palacios, lors de son discours de réception à l’Académie royale, choque l’auditoire en affirmant que Dante Alighieri, l’auteur de La Divine Comédie, non seulement se serait inspiré du Mi’radj et de l’Isra, mais aurait transposé dans son poème, le plus grand de la chrétienté, images, épisodes et symboles tirés directement de textes arabes écrits cinq siècles auparavant. C’est un véritable brûlot qui vient d’être lancé. La polémique fait rage et pendant plusieurs années les partisans de l’une et l’autre thèses bataillent sans quartier. Au moment où le débat semble s’éteindre sans vainqueurs ni vaincus, coup de théâtre !, apparaît un nouveau document qui relance l’affaire.
Lucio Guerrato narre les développements de cette controverse qui dure depuis un siècle, transformant un débat entre érudits en une sorte d’enquête judiciaire à rebondissements. Cela lui donne aussi l’occasion d’évoquer des mythes millénaires de l’outre-tombe, le climat culturel de l’époque de Dante, les échanges entre le monde arabe et le monde chrétien. La réponse finale qu’il propose à la question clef de cette affaire, “qui a copié qui ?”, n’est pas sans surprise.
